Dr. Yesha Vyas Shah
I have been practicing Ayurveda since 2010, with a deep commitment to holistic healing and patient-centered care. My journey in the field began as a Medical Officer at Gareja PHC in Porbandar, Gujarat (2006–2008), where I gained valuable grassroots-level clinical experience. In 2008, I expanded my perspective by working as an Ayurvedic Consultant in Berlin, Germany, which enriched my understanding of global wellness expectations and integrative approaches. Since 2010, I have been serving as a Senior Ayurvedic Consultant at Aarsh Ayurveda Health Care in Porbandar. My core areas of expertise include classical Panchakarma therapies, Ayurvedic weight management, nutrition counseling, and Ayurvedic cosmetology. I have been managing Ayurvedic weight and lifestyle interventions since 2012 and have been practicing Ayurvedic cosmetology, including herbal skin and hair therapies, since 2015. I am known for being a patient listener and for forming strong, compassionate connections with those I treat. I believe that healing starts with being understood, and my consultative approach reflects this principle. My practice integrates traditional Ayurvedic wisdom with a personalized plan that suits the unique prakriti (constitution) and needs of each individual. Currently, I am in the process of launching a dedicated Garbh Sanskar Centre, where expectant mothers can benefit from Ayurvedic prenatal care, emotional well-being programs, and classical rituals designed to support healthy conception, pregnancy, and fetal development. With over a decade of diverse Ayurvedic practice, I strive to offer authentic, evidence-rooted care in a modern context. I aim to empower my patients with lifestyle changes, preventive care, and deep-rooted healing techniques that foster long-term wellness.

HELLO ASTHA TRIPATHI,

You were doing fine, but now due to some recent change maybe diet, stress, sleep, or weather your body isn’t nourishing your hair properly. That’s why you’re facing hair fall and thinning. Your skin is clean (which is great!), but the scars and dullness mean your internal system is slightly dry or undernourished. We’ll focus on feeding your skin and hair from inside using food, herbs, and natural oil care.

(Hair + Face + Internal Support)

Morning (Empty Stomach):

1 tsp Amla powder + warm water OR 1 tbsp Aloe vera juice + Amla juice mixed in ½ glass water

After Breakfast:

Bhringrajasava – 10 ml + equal water Saptamrita Lauha – 1 tablet

After Lunch:

Chyawanprash – 1 tsp Sukumar Ghrita – 1 tsp with warm water (improves absorption + skin glow)

Night (Before Sleep):

Triphala Churna – 1 tsp with warm water OR Brahmi Vati – 1 tablet if sleep is not deep or there’s stress

Hair & Skin External Routine (3–4 times/week) Hair Oil Before Bath (leave 1 hour minimum):

Mix Bhringraj Taila + Neelibhringadi Taila (equal parts) Warm it slightly and apply to scalp + hair length Massage for 10 mins and tie loosely

Post-Bath Hair Rinse:

Boil 1 tsp Triphala in 1 glass water → cool → strain → final rinse water after shampoo Use mild herbal shampoo (no harsh chemicals)

Face Pack (3 times/week):

Multani Mitti + Sandalwood + Rosewater (For scars: Add 2 drops lemon juice OR turmeric pinch) Keep for 15 mins, wash with cool water

Glow Tip:

Apply Kumkumadi Tailam (2–3 drops) at night on clean face Massage gently and leave overnight

Food Tips:

Have 1 tsp ghee with every meal Eat soaked almonds (4–5) + black raisins (5–6) every morning Avoid eating dry, spicy, or packaged food often

Add more iron and protein: spinach, beetroot, dal, moong, methi, jaggery

(if not done in past 6 months):

CBC Vitamin D3 Vitamin B12 Serum Ferritin (for iron stores) TSH (if hair fall persists despite all care)

Start this for 21 days sincerely, and your hair density and face glow will start showing up again.

If you have any doubts, you can contact me. Take care, Regards, DR.Karthika

HELLO ASTHA,

You mentioned -hairfall and thinning started recently -facial scars - no acne currently -skin looks dull, no glow -good digestion overall, but occasional acidity - normal menstrual cycle, no chronic disease

From an ayurvedic perspective, your body is basically healthy, but there are a few early imbalances developing in your doshas(natural energies) and dhatus(body tissues)

UNDERSTANDING HAIRFALL AND THINNIG

Ayurveda says hair is a byproduct of bone tissue(asthi dhatu) and is nourished by blood(rakta) and plasma(rasa dhatu)

THERE ARE 3 REASONS FOR YOUR HAIR ISSUES

1) PITTA IMBALANCE= pitta is the energy of heat and transformation. When it increases due to stress, late nights, spicy foods or sun exposure, it can overheat the scalp, causing inflammation in hair roots-> hair starts falling

2) VATA AGGRAVATION= vata controls movement and dryness . if vata is high, it dries out your scalp, making hair brittle and thin

3) WEAK NOURISHMENT TO HAIR TISSUES= even if you eat healthy, your tissues may not be absorbing nutrients properly due to mild digestive weakness or minor toxin buildup-> hair roots dont get full nutrition-> thinning

UNDERSTANING SKIN SCARS AND DULLNESS

1) RAKTA DHATU IS SLIGHTLY IMPURE -even though your digestion feels good, small amounts of toxins can build up in the blood due to occasional acidity, poor sleep, or environmental factors-> this causes scars or marks on the skin

2) OJAS(ITAL GLOW) IS LOW -Ojas is the essence of good health. when Ojas is low due to stress, tiredness, irregular sleep, or dehydration, your skin looks tired or dull, even if there’s no acne

3) NO FRESH NOURISHMENT TO SKIN CELLS -your outer skin depends on the health of your rasa(plasma) and rakta(blood). If these aren’t being refreshed properly, healing slows down-> old scars stay longer and skin loses its natural shine

AYURVEDA AIMS TREATMENT TO -Cool and nourish your body internally -purify your blood to reduce scars and clear skin - strengthen digestion -to improve nutrient absorption -adopt a gentle rouitne= including massage, yoga, diet, and medicines)

MANAGEMENT PLAN

1) HAIRFALL AND LOW DENSITY

-BHRINGARAJASAVA= 15ml with water twice daily after meals =nourishes liver, supports hair growth

-ASHWAGANDHA CHURNA= 1 tsp at night with warm milk =balances stress, vata and improves asthi

-AMLA CAPSULES= 1 cap with warm water morning empty stomach =rasayana, enhances rasa and hair pigmentation

-YASHTI MADHU CHURNA= 1/2 tsp with ghee morning and evening =supports adrenal health, improves quality of hair

NASYA THERAPY= instill 2 drops of BALA TAILA in each nostril daily morning empty stomach =promotes hair health by nourishing brain and scalp area

* EXTERNAL TREATMENT

-MAHABRINGARAJ TAILA= warm oil, gentle scalp massage for 10-15 mins thrice weekly =strengthen roots, reduces vata

-KESH KANTI OR SHIKAKAI SHAMPOO= twice weekly for mild cleansing =prevent scalp dryness without chemical use

-HAIR MASK = 2 tbsp amla + brahmi churna + Aloe vera gel + curd =make paste and apply once weekly the rinse with mild shampoo = strengthen follicles, cools scalp

2) FOR SKIN GLOW OR SCAR MANAGEMENT

-MAHA MANJISTHA GHAN VATI= 1 tab twice daily with warm water after meals =blood purification, pigmentation

-KHADIRARISHTA= 15ml with equal water after meals twice daily =detoxifies blood, helps skin clarity

-NEEM CAPSULES= 1 cap after food twice daily =purifies skin and controls any inflammation

-CHANDRAPRABHA VATI= 2 tabs daily after meals =balances pitta and detoxifies skin

*EXTERNAL TREATMENT

UBTAN= besan+turmeric+sandalwood+milk+rose water = brightening exfoliation, removing scars

PACK= multani mitti + rose water + manjistha powder =deep cleansing, ear reduction

KUMKUMADI TAILA= 3 drops on face massage gently at night

ALOE VERA GEL (NATURAL)=direct from leaf apply at night

DIET TO BE FOLLOWED

GENERAL PRINCIPLES -include oily, sweet, cooling foods to pacify pitta and vata -avoid very spicy, sour, fried, or preserved food

INCLUDE -homemade ghee 2 tsp/day - soaked almonds, raisins, dates -cow milk or plant milk with cardamom and ghee -fresh fruits-especially pomegranate, papaya, amla - vegetables= beetroot, bottle gourd, spinach, ash gourd - whole grains-rice, wheat , barley - herbal teas= mint, licorice, chamomile

AVOID THESE -fermented foods- pickles, curd at night - cold water, soda, energy drinks - late night meals -reheating food multiple times

LIFESTYLE

MORNING ROUTINE

6-6:30AM= wake up, drink warm water with 1 tsp ghee or lemon

7 AM= light exercise, yoga, or walking

7:30 AM= oil massage thrice weekly

8 AM= bath with herbal powder(mix besan+turmeric+curd)

EVENING AND NIGHT

SUNSET= light dinner-soup,khichdi, dal

8 PM= Kumkumadi taila face massage

9:30-10 PM= sleep, avoid screens 1 hour before bed

YOGA AND PRANAYAM -Sarvangasana= 1-2 min, increases blood flow to scalp - Balasana= 2 min, relieves stress - Adho much svanasana= 2-3 min, strengthens scalp and brain - Anulom-vilom= 10 min, balances vata-pitta - Bhramari= 5 min, improves skin buster and mental calmness

You’re young and have no chronic illness your periods are normal you already eat fairly well these are early stage imbalances and can be reversed naturally

By following this plan consistently for 2-3 months, you can see -stronger, thicker hair - reduced hair fall - lightened scars - glowing, clearer skin -more mental calmness and better digestion

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

Diet and Lifestyle

Pathya: Fresh fruits, fresh vegetables, nutritious food, adequate sleep

Apathya: Avoid salt, sugar, tobacco, and alcohol. Overconsumption of salt and sugar increases dandruff and hairloss. Avoid large amounts of vitamin A.

Avoid strong soaps, shampoo or hair sprays. Only use mild castile soaps. Hats and wigs are apt to cause hair to fall out faster, since they limit the air to the scalp. Avoid tension, stress, worry and hurry.

To address hair fall and increase hair density, it’s important to understand your dosha, as imbalance may impact hair health. For most cases, it’s Vata and Pitta that are culprits. Include a diet rich in proteins, omega-3 fatty acids, and iron. Almonds, walnuts, flaxseeds, and sesame seeds will be beneficial. Drink amla (Indian gooseberry) juice daily in the morning which nourishes the hair follicles and promotes growth. Applying Bhringraj oil regularly to your scalp can help; gently massage it in circular motions, then leave it overnight or at least for a few hours before washing it off with a mild herbal shampoo.

For skin, given the presence of scars but absence of major acne concerns, focus on regeneration and pitta balancing. Include turmeric and neem powder in your diet. Fresh aloe vera gel can be applied directly on scars; leave it for about 20 minutes before rinsing off. To add glow, consider making face pack with sandalwood powder and rose water, it cools the skin and gives a glow. Drinking lots of water and a few tulsi leaves or rose petals soaked overnight also aid in enhancing glow.

Avoid excessive caffeine and spicy, oily foods that disrupt your body’s balance. Daily Pranayama, especially alternate nostril breathing, is excellent for maintaining overall stress which might be affecting your hair and skin.

Consult a healthcare professional if symptoms persist or worsen to ensure there aren’t underlying nutritional deficiencies or health concerns. A balanced approach through these dietary, lifestyle and topical measures should aid in improving your hair and skin health over time. Keep consistent with these practices for at least few months to see noticeable results, as both hair and skin regeneration takes time.

My academic and clinical journey is rooted in classical Ayurvedic surgical wisdom, complemented by a modern understanding of patient care and evidence-based approaches.

I am deeply committed to offering individualized treatment plans that align with the patient’s prakriti (constitution), disease progression, and lifestyle factors. I believe healing is not limited to procedures alone; it also requires compassion, communication, and continuity of care. That’s why I ensure each patient receives personalized guidance—from diagnosis and therapy to post-treatment care and preventive strategies. I also incorporate Ayurvedic principles like Ahara (diet), Vihara (lifestyle), and Satvavajaya (mental well-being) to promote complete healing and not just symptomatic relief. Whether it's managing complex surgical cases or advising on conservative Ayurvedic therapies, my goal is to restore balance and improve the quality of life through authentic, safe, and holistic care. As I continue to deepen my clinical knowledge and surgical acumen, I remain dedicated to evolving as a well-rounded Ayurvedic practitioner who integrates traditional practices with modern sensibilities.

Dr. Anirudh Deshmukh
I am Dr Anurag Sharma, done with BAMS and also PGDHCM from IMS BHU, which honestly shaped a lot of how I approach things now in clinic. Working as a physician and also as an anorectal surgeon, I’ve got around 2 to 3 years of solid experience—tho like, every day still teaches me something new. I mainly focus on anorectal care (like piles, fissure, fistula stuff), plus I work with chronic pain cases too. Pain management is something I feel really invested in—seeing someone walk in barely managing and then leave with actual relief, that hits different. I’m not really the fancy talk type, but I try to keep my patients super informed, not just hand out meds n move on. Each case needs a bit of thinking—some need Ksharasutra or minor para surgical stuff, while others are just lifestyle tweaks and herbal meds. I like mixing the Ayurved principles with modern insights when I can, coz both sides got value really. It’s like—knowing when to go gentle and when to be precise. Right now I’m working hard on getting even better with surgical skills, but also want to help people get to me before surgery's the only option. Had few complicated cases where patience n consistency paid off—no shortcuts but yeah, worth it. The whole point for me is to actually listen first, like proper listen. People talk about symptoms but also say what they feel—and that helps in understanding more than any lab report sometimes. I just want to stay grounded in my work, and keep growing while doing what I can to make someone's pain bit less every day.

Dr. Snehal Vidhate
I am Dr. Snehal Vidhate, born n brought up in Maharashtra—and honestly, for as long as I remember I’ve felt this pull towards Ayurveda. Not the fancy version ppl throw around, but the deep, real kind that actually helps ppl. I did my BAMS from YMT Ayurvedic Medical College in Kharghar. That’s where I got my basics strong—like really studied the shastras, understood prakriti, doshas, the whole deal. Not just crammed theory but started to see how it shows up in real lives. After finishing BAMS, I got into this one-year certificate course at Rashtriya Ayurveda Vidyapeeth, Delhi—honestly a turning point. I was super lucky to learn Kerala Ayurveda from my Guru, Prof. Dr. G.G. Gangadharan. He’s got this way of seeing things... simple but deep. That time with him taught me more than any textbook ever could. It kinda reshaped how I look at health, healing n how precise Ayurveda can be when you respect its roots. Right now I’m doing my MD in Panchakarma from SDM Ayurveda College, Bangalore. This place is like a hub for serious Ayurveda work. The Panchakarma training here? Super intense. We go deep into detoxification & rasayana therapy—not just theory again, but hands-on. I’m learning to blend classical techniques with today’s clinical demands.. like how to make Vamana or Basti actually doable in modern patient setups. My current practice is really about merging tradition with logic. Whether it’s chronic skin issues, gut problems, stress burnout or hormone stuff—my goal is to get to the root, not just hush the symptoms. I use Panchakarma when needed, but also a lot of ahara-vihara tweaks, medhya herbs, sometimes just slowing ppl down a bit helps. I really believe Ayurveda’s power is in its simplicity when done right. I don’t try to fix ppl—I work *with* them. And honestly, every patient teaches me something back.

Dr. Prasad Pentakota
ChatGPT said: I am Dr. P. Prasad, and I’ve been in this field for 20+ years now, working kinda across the board—General Medicine, Neurology, Dermatology, Cardiology—you name it. Didn’t start out thinking I’d end up spanning that wide, but over time, each area sort of pulled me in deeper. And honestly, I like that mix. It lets me look at a patient not just through one lens but a whole system-wide view... makes more sense when treating something that won’t fit neatly in one category. I’ve handled everything from day-to-day stuff like hypertension, diabetes, or skin infections to more serious neuro and cardiac problems. Some cases are quick—diagnose, treat, done. Others take time, repeated check-ins, figuring out what’s really going on beneath those usual symptoms. And that’s where the detail matters. I’m pretty big on thorough diagnosis and patient education—because half the problem is ppl just not knowing what’s happening inside their own body. What’s changed for me over years isn’t just knowledge, it’s how much I lean on listening. If you miss what someone didn’t say, you might also miss their actual illness. And idk, after seeing it play out so many times, I do believe combining updated medical practice with basic empathy really shifts outcomes. Doesn’t have to be complicated... it just has to be consistent. I keep up with research too—new drugs, diagnostics, cross-specialty updates etc., not because it’s trendy, but cuz it’s necessary. Patients come in better read now than ever. You can’t afford to fall behind. The end goal’s the same tho—help them heal right, not just fast. Ethical practice, evidence-based, and sometimes just being there to explain what’s going on. That’s what I stick to.

Dr. Surya Bhagwati
I am a Senior Ayurveda Physician with more than 28 years in this field — and trust me, it still surprises me how much there is to learn every single day. Over these years, I’ve had the chance to treat over 1 lakh patients (probably more by now honestly), both through in-person consults and online. Some come in with a mild cough, others with conditions no one’s been able to figure out for years. Each case brings its own rhythm, and that’s where real Ayurveda begins. I still rely deeply on classical tools — *Nadi Pariksha*, *Roga-Rogi Pariksha*, proper *prakriti-vikriti* mapping — not just ticking symptoms into a list. I don’t believe in ready-made cures or generic charts. Diagnosis needs attention. I look at how the disease behaves *inside* that specific person, which doshas are triggering what, and where the imbalance actually started (hint: it’s usually not where the pain is). Over the years I’ve worked with pretty much all age groups and all kinds of health challenges — from digestive upsets & fevers to chronic, autoimmune, hormonal, metabolic and degenerative disorders. Arthritis, diabetes, PCOD, asthma, thyroid... but also things like unexplained fatigue or joint swelling that comes and goes randomly. Many of my patients had already “tried everything else” before they walked into Ayurveda, and watching their systems respond slowly—but surely—is something I don’t take lightly. My line of treatment usually combines herbal formulations (classical ones, not trendy ones), Panchakarma detox when needed, and realistic dietary and lifestyle corrections. Long-term healing needs long-term clarity — not just short bursts of symptom relief. And honestly, I tell patients that too. I also believe patient education isn’t optional. I explain things. Why we’re doing virechana, why the oil changed mid-protocol, why we pause or shift the meds after a few weeks. I want people to feel involved, not confused. Ayurveda works best when the patient is part of the process, not just receiving instructions. Even now I keep learning — through texts, talks, patient follow-ups, sometimes even mistakes that taught me what not to do. And I’m still committed, still fully into it. Because for me, this isn’t just a job. It’s a lifelong responsibility — to restore balance, protect *ojas*, and help each person live in tune with themselves. That’s the real goal.

Dr. Ayush Varma
I am an Ayurvedic physician with an MD from AIIMS—yeah, the 2008 batch. That time kinda shaped everything for me... learning at that level really forces you to think deeper, not just follow protocol. Now, with 15+ years in this field, I mostly work with chronic stuff—autoimmune issues, gut-related problems, metabolic syndrome... those complex cases where symptoms overlap n patients usually end up confused after years of going in circles. I don’t rush to treat symptoms—I try to dig into what’s actually causing the system to go off-track. I guess that’s where my training really helps, especially when blending classical Ayurveda with updated diagnostics. I did get certified in Panchakarma & Rasayana therapy, which I use quite a lot—especially in cases where tissue-level nourishment or deep detox is needed. Rasayana has this underrated role in post-illness recovery n immune stabilization, which most people miss. I’m pretty active in clinical research too—not a full-time academic or anything, but I’ve contributed to studies on how Ayurveda helps manage diabetes, immunity burnout, stress dysregulation, things like that. It’s been important for me to keep a foot in that evidence-based space—not just because of credibility but because it keeps me from becoming too rigid in practice. I also get invited to speak at wellness events n some integrative health conferences—sharing ideas around patient-centered treatment models or chronic care via Ayurvedic frameworks. I practice full-time at a wellness centre that’s serious about Ayurveda—not just the spa kind—but real, protocol-driven, yet personalised medicine. Most of my patients come to me after trying a lot of other options, which makes trust-building a huge part of what I do every single day.

I am an Ayurvedic doctor who kinda grew into this path naturally—my roots are in Kerala, and I did my internship at VPSV Ayurveda College in Kottakkal, which honestly was one of the most eye-opening stages of my life. That place isn’t just a college, it’s a deep well of real Ayurveda. The kind that’s lived, not just studied. During my time there, I didn’t just observe—I *practiced*. Diagnosing, treating, understanding the patient beyond their symptoms, all that hands-on stuff that textbooks don’t really teach. It’s where I learned the rhythm of classical Kerala Ayurveda, the art of pulse reading, and how Panchakarma ain’t just about detox but more about deep repair. I work closely with patients—always felt more like a guide than just a doctor tbh. Whether it's about fixing a chronic issue or preventing one from happening, I focus on the full picture. I give a lot of attention to diet (pathya), routine, mental clutter, and stress stuff. Counseling on these isn’t an ‘extra’—I see it as a part of healing. And not the preachy kind either, more like what works *for you*, your lifestyle, your space. Also yeah—I’m a certified Smrithi Meditation Consultant from Kottakkal Ayurveda School of Excellence. This kinda allowed me to mix mindfulness with medicine, which I find super important, especially in today’s distracted world. I integrate meditation where needed—some patients need a virechana, some just need to breathe better before they sleep. There’s no one-size-fits-all and I kinda like that part of my job the most. I don’t claim to know it all, but I listen deeply, treat with care, and stay true to the Ayurvedic principles I was trained in. My role feels less about ‘curing’ and more about nudging people back to their natural balance... it’s not quick or flashy, but it feels right.

Dr. Maitri Bhavesh Kumar Acharya
I am Dr. Maitri, currently in my 2nd year of MD in Dravyaguna, and yeah, I run my own Ayurvedic clinic in Ranoli where I’ve been seeing patients for 2 years now. Honestly, what pulled me into this path deeper is how powerful herbs really are—when used right. Not just randomly mixing churnas but actually understanding their rasa, virya, vipaka etc. That’s kinda my zone, where textbook knowledge meets day-to-day case handling. My practice revolves around helping people with PCOD, acne, dandruff, back pain, stiffness in knees or joints that never seem to go away. And I don’t jump to giving a long list of medicines straight away—first I spend time figuring out their prakriti, their habits, food cycle, what triggers what… basically all the small stuff that gets missed. Then comes the plan—herbs (single or compound), some diet reshuffling, and always some lifestyle nudges. Sometimes they’re tiny, like sleep timing. Sometimes big like proper seasonal detox. Being into Dravyaguna helps me get into the depth of herbs more confidently. I don’t just look at the symptom—I think okay what guna will counter this? Should the drug be snigdha, ushna, tikta? Is there a reverse vipaka that’ll hurt the agni? I ask these questions before writing any combo. That’s made a huge diff in outcomes. Like I had this case of chronic urticaria that would flare up every week, and just tweaking the herbs based on sheetala vs ushna nature... helped calm the system in 3 weeks flat. Not magic, just logic. I also work with women who are struggling with hormonal swings, mood, delayed periods or even unexplained breakouts. When hormones go haywire, the skin shows, digestion slows, and mind gets foggy too. I keep my approach full-circle—cleansing, balancing, rejuvenating. No quick fixes, I tell them early on. What I’m hoping to do more of now is make Ayurveda feel practical. Not overwhelming. Just simple tools—ahara, vihara, aushadha—used consistently, with some trust in the body’s own healing. I’m still learning, still refining, but honestly, seeing people feel in control of their health again—that’s what keeps me rooted to this.

Dr. Hemanshu Mehta
I am Dr. Hemanshu—right now a 2nd year MD scholar in Shalya Tantra, which basically means I’m training deep into the surgical side of Ayurveda. Not just cutting and stitching, btw, but the whole spectrum of para-surgical tools like Agnikarma, Viddhakarma, and Kshara Karma... these aren’t just traditional, they’re super precise when done right. I’m not saying I know everything yet (still learning every day honestly), but I do have solid exposure in handling chronic pain issues, muscle-joint disorders, and anorectal conditions like piles, fissures, fistulas—especially where modern treatments fall short or the patient’s tired of going through loops. During clinical rounds, I’ve seen how even simple Kshara application or well-timed Agnikarma can ease stuff like tennis elbow or planter fasciatis, fast. But more than the technique, I feel the key is figuring what matches the patient’s constitution n lifestyle... like one-size-never-fits-all here. I try to go beyond the complaint—looking into their ahar, sleep, stress levels, digestion, and just how they feel in general. That part gets missed often. I honestly believe healing isn’t just a “procedure done” kind of thing. I try not to rush—spend time on pre-procedure prep, post-care advice, what diet might help the tissue rebuild faster, whether they’re mentally up for it too. And no, I don’t ignore pathology reports either—modern diagnostic tools help me stay grounded while applying ancient methods. It’s not this vs that, it’s both, when needed. My aim, tbh, is to become the kind of Ayurvedic surgeon who doesn't just do the work but understands why that karma or technique is needed at that point in time. Every case teaches me something new, and that curiosity keeps me moving.

Dr. Anjali Sehrawat
I am Dr. Anjali Sehrawat. Graduated BAMS from National College of Ayurveda & Hospital, Barwala (Hisar) in 2023—and right now I'm doing my residency, learning a lot everyday under senior clinicians who’ve been in the field way longer than me. It’s kind of intense but also really grounding. Like, it makes you pause before assuming anything about a patient. During my UG and clinical rotations, I got good hands-on exposure... not just in diagnosing through Ayurvedic nidan but also understanding where and when Allopathic tools (like lab reports or acute interventions) help fill the gap. I really believe that if you *actually* want to heal someone, you gotta see the whole picture—Ayurveda gives you that depth, but you also need to know when modern input is useful, right? I’m more interested in chronic & lifestyle disorders—stuff like metabolic imbalances, stress-linked issues, digestive problems that linger and slowly pull energy down. I don’t rush into giving churnas or kashayams just bcz the texts say so... I try to see what fits the patient’s prakriti, daily habits, emotional pattern etc. It’s not textbook-perfect every time, but that’s where the real skill grows I guess. I do a lot of thinking abt cause vs symptom—sometimes it's not the problem you see that actually needs solving first. What I care about most is making sure the treatment is safe, ethical, practical, and honest. No overpromising, no pushing meds that don’t fit. And I’m always reading or discussing sth—old Samhitas or recent journals, depends what the case demands. My goal really is to build a practice where people feel seen & understood, not just “managed.” That's where healing actually begins, right?

Dr. Narendrakumar V Mishra
I am a Consulting Ayurvedic Physician practicing since 1990—feels strange saying “over three decades” sometimes, but yeah, that’s the journey. I’ve spent these years working closely with chronic conditions that don’t always have clear answers in quick fixes. My main work has been around skin disorders, hair fall, scalp issues, and long-standing lifestyle stuff like diabetes, arthritis, and stress that kinda lingers under everything else. When someone walks into my clinic, I don’t jump to treat the problem on the surface. I start by understanding their *prakriti* and *vikriti*—what they’re made of, and what’s currently out of sync. That lets me build treatment plans that actually *fit* their system—not just push a medicine and hope it works. I use a mix of classical formulations, panchakarma if needed, dietary corrections, and slow, practical lifestyle changes. No overnight miracle talk. Just steady support. Hair fall and skin issues often feel cosmetic from outside—but internally? It’s about digestion, stress, liver, hormones... I’ve seen patients try 10+ things before landing in front of me. And sometimes they just need someone to *listen* before throwing herbs at the problem. That’s something I never skip. With arthritis and diabetes too, I take the same root-cause path. I give Ayurvedic medicines, but also work with *dinacharya*, *ahar* rules, and ways to reduce the load modern life puts on the body. We discuss sleep, food timing, mental state, all of it. I’ve also worked a lot with people dealing with high stress—career burnout, anxiety patterns, overthinking—and my approach there includes Ayurvedic counseling, herbal mind support, breathing routines... depends what suits them. My foundation is built on classical *samhitas*, clinical observation, and actual time with patients—not theories alone. My goal has always been simple: to help people feel well—not just for a few weeks, but in a way that actually lasts. Healing that feels like *them*, not just protocol. That’s what I keep aiming for.

Dr. Manjula
I am an Ayurveda practitioner who’s honestly kind of obsessed with understanding what really caused someone’s illness—not just what hurts, but why it started in the first place. I work through Prakruti-Vikruti pareeksha, tongue analysis, lifestyle patterns, digestion history—little things most ppl skip over, but Ayurveda doesn’t. I look at the whole system and how it’s interacting with the world around it. Not just, like, “you have acidity, take this churna.” My main focus is on balancing doshas—Vata, Pitta, Kapha—not in a copy-paste way, but in a very personalized, live-and-evolving format. Because sometimes someone looks like a Pitta imbalance but actually it's their aggravated Vata stirring it up... it’s layered. I use herbal medicine, ahar-vihar (diet + daily routine), lifestyle modifications and also just plain conversations with the patient to bring the mind and body back to a rhythm. When that happens—healing starts showing up, gradually but strongly. I work with chronic conditions, gut imbalances, seasonal allergies, emotional stress patterns, even people who just “don’t feel right” anymore but don’t have a name for it. Prevention is also a huge part of what I do—Ayurveda isn’t just for after you fall sick. Helping someone stay aligned, even when nothing feels urgent, is maybe the most powerful part of this science. My entire practice is rooted in classical Ayurvedic texts—Charaka, Sushruta, Ashtanga Hridayam—and I try to stay true to the system, but I also speak to people where they’re at. That means making the treatments doable in real life. No fancy lists of herbs no one can find. No shloka lectures unless someone wants them. Just real healing using real logic and intuition together. I care about precision in diagnosis. I don’t rush that part. I take time. Because one wrong assumption and you’re treating the shadow, not the source. And that’s what I try to avoid. My goal isn’t temporary relief—it’s to teach the body how to not need constant fixing. When someone walks away lighter, clearer, more in tune with their system—that’s the actual win.
